Ticket From VCS Brookshaw Sheffield

RichieBoy56

My partners daughter allegedly overstayed in the above mentioned car park while driving partners car. Had one of their pseudo NTD's on windscreen. I received NTK as I am the registered keeper.


I have appealed using the template in the newbies section and have now received a reply rejecting my appeal.


What should I do now?


Your valued advice would be appreciated.

Why do we get new threads by newbies wanting the 'next step' when there isn't one? Maybe I need to make it even clearer in the NEWBIES thread that IPC firms = ignore after the first pointless appeal.

Come back if you get a small claim, but please don't post asking is that likely. From VCS not very likely, no, and they are certainly beatable. Nothing to worry about. Sit tight.

RichieBoy56

Thanks for the advice.

I have now received a document from VCS titled 'Notice of Intended Court Proceedings'.
Do I need to respond to this or ignore please?

Definitely VCS, not Debt Recovery Plus?

Read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #2 about how to respond to a LBA/LBCCC and respond robustly if it came from VCS.

If it’s from DRP - ignore it.

RichieBoy56

Yes, from VCS. I will read sticky post #2 again and compose a response.

I know you don't like to spoon feed on this forum but having trawled through the Newbies Thread and other sites I cannot find a suitable rebuttal letter.
The notice has been issued by VCS. They have not outlined the basis of their claim. They have quoted Beavis and the usual threat of a CCJ.
I am minded to ignore until I get court papers.

I have read more post and come up with the following rebuttal to VCS Notice of Intended Court Proceedings:


Dear VCS,
VCS Ref: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Notice of Intended Court Proceedings


Thank you for your letter of xxxxxxxx.


I am writing to acknowledge receipt of the above letter.


First, the alleged debt is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended.


If your letter is intended to be a “Letter Before Claim” then I must inform you that it does not comply with the requirements of Annex A Para 2 of the Practice Direction on Pre-action Conduct. If you intend to continue with this futile claim then please issue a Letter Before Action that does comply with the Practice Direction within 14 days. I confirm that I shall then seek advice and submit a formal Response within 30 days of receipt, as required by the Practice Direction.


Please ensure that someone does actually read and respond to this letter, providing the specific information relating to the county court claim that you intend to make against me as the defendant to the proposed legal proceedings. Please DO NOT send a generic letter in reply as to do so does not meet the requirements of the Practice Direction and will take this matter no further forward.


Yours faithfully


Will this suffice?

It would be helpful if you could put up images of the NTK and 'Notice of Intended Court Proceedings' (with personal details, VRM etc. blocked out).

It will be interesting to see if the 'NICP' has changed from the one pictured in an older thread, pre the new Pre Action Protocol rules.

What is the alleged contravention, you haven't said.

I have now received a document from VCS titled 'Notice of Intended Court Proceedings'.

What letters/documents have you received so far, and have any come from BW Legal or are they all direct from VCS?
